Chapter 1507: Chapter 1507: The Magistrate? Lan Zhengfeng!

Although he knew that the person opposite was formidable, the leader still tried to use threatening words to frighten him away.
In Ming Gu County, kidnapping children at night had become a common occurrence, with even the county magistrate daring not to interfere, forced to turn a blind eye and let them leave Ming Gu County safely.
Clearly, the man before them wasn’t from the county government, yet he dared to meddle in their affairs—it was as if he had a death wish.
Perhaps they were no match for this man, but their family master was not to be trifled with. Whoever troubled their family master would make life in Ming Gu County unbearable for anyone!
“You… you… don’t come any closer… you…”
Seeing that Qian Jiyun was unmoved by their words and continued to approach them step by step, the men couldn’t help feeling frightened, their speech becoming unclear as they instinctively retreated.
This man’s aura was overwhelmingly strong, almost suffocating them.
“Who are you? What do you want with those children?” Qian Jiyun once again raised his hand, immobilizing them so that they couldn’t move, and he continued to advance towards them.
Kidnapping so many children, regardless of where it happened, would never be peaceful, especially since these people clearly weren’t doing this for the first time.
Yet these men acted as though nothing was wrong.
What surprised him even more was that when he entered the city, the city gates were open. He hadn’t cared much then, but now it seemed the gates were left open to wait for these men to take the children out, right?
Ming Gu County was certainly interesting. No wonder Lan Zhengfeng thrived here—could it be that he had colluded with the locals and gotten involved in human trafficking?
But where would these children ultimately be trafficked to?
“No… I don’t know what you’re talking about? These children, we bought them… yes, that’s right, we bought them,” the leader desperately found an excuse and said it as if it were the truth.
“Not speaking?”
How could Qian Jiyun possibly believe such nonsense.
If they wouldn’t speak the truth, he naturally had ways to make them speak up. He exerted force with his hand, and a crushing pressure bore down on them, causing them to fall to their knees with a series of thuds.
“Ah!”
Kneeling on the hard stone pavement, their knees ached intensely, and as Qian Jiyun continued to apply pressure, their knees were pressed harder against the stone, causing it to crack and eliciting pig-like screams from the men.
Eventually, several men couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed completely to the ground.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”
The leader bit his teeth and didn’t speak, but that didn’t mean the others wouldn’t. If this continued, all the bones in their bodies would be crushed.
“We are people from the county magistrate’s side. This time, we left the city to hand these children over to a relative of the magistrate. We didn’t kidnap these children; they were all stealthily captured by the magistrate’s people. It has nothing to do with us.”
“The county magistrate? Lan Zhengfeng!”
Qian Jiyun’s eyes hardened with intensity; he hadn’t expected that by bringing Lan Zhengfeng here, he would become involved in human trafficking.
He had thought that at most, Lan Zhengfeng had accepted some bribes to facilitate these people, but he hadn’t imagined that the ones doing this were Lan Zhengfeng’s own men.
